Scotland's greenhouse gas emissions were 40.61 million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (MtCO₂e) in 2022, slightly down from 2021. Scotland GHG emissions have seen a decreasing trend, since 1990 they have roughly halved. These reductions are mainly attributable to the considerable drop in Scotland's electricity supply emissions over the last three decades.
